hello,

android starts as a background of sign FREE FOR PERSONAL USE. see screenshot attached.

i have no idea what to do.

w8.1, gm2.0.3, nb compaq 6715s

can anybody help, pls?

thx for reply

happy new year

FREE FOR PERSONAL USE is normal and always displayed, but the black screen should be followed by ANDROID and then the lock screen.

Upload genymotion.log and genymotion-player.log and I can tell you what's wrong.

Happy new year!

Genymotion is okay. The problem must be in the android system. In your log I see that it created a logcat in

[Adb][logcat] "C:/Users/********/AppData/Local/Genymobile/Genymotion/deployed/WSVGA 7.0 Tablet - 4.1.1 - API 16 - 1024x600\logcat.txt" : "192.168.56.101"

You can provide it and I tell you what's wrong in android…:silly:

Did you try recreating the vm already? Sometimes the image is not downloaded properly, thus not working. Try Nexus 7 image, this usually works best.

(adb connect IP - correct?)

no, unable to connect IP.

Mmh, I'm afraid I can not help you with that. I did not test it with windows yet (let's hope I'll never have to…) but I read a lot that you must uninstall and clear registry etc. and then install again and maybe it is solved.

So much easier in linux where you just install to another folder again…simultaneously.

Anyways, good luck!

The upload is in progress. I used Nexus 7 4.1.1 image as suggested and exported it as an OVA file which can be imported in virtualbox and run via genymotion. GApps can be downloaded at goo.im, I did not install them to provide a really fresh image for every purpose. You can easily install them if you want.

You can PM me if you want the link. Have fun!

If you like it, there's a thanks button…;)

    Hi there! ;)


    Ever thought of running Android on PC? Trying out apps and playing with it?
    Genymotion, provides the best Android virtual environment out there and runs Android 4.1
    So let’s start installing it.
    This guide will help you installing Genymotion !



    Note:-

    • This tutorial is based on Windows 7 HP 64bit
    • Know how to use your PC. I do NOT teach PC 101. Don't ask for clarification of this process – it is dirt simple if you are competent (- attn1).
      [*]Specs of the system used. (Full details in Signature)

    Intel Core i7 3610QM
    nVidia GT 650M 2 GB DDR3
    8 GB RAM


    You'll need the following: -


    Assuming you got Virtual box installed and is functional, Follow the guide.

    Installation

    Starting up the app for first time after installation.

    You'll need to log in to download the virtual device

    After logging in, select the virtual device or variant you want to try out.

    Select the virtual device you just downloaded and hit start/play.


    Playing around

    You can even set custom resolution..


    ADB

    ADB can be used for various purposes like copying a file to VM, installing apps, debugging, etc.

    You'll need the following files :-


    You'll need to connect to VM. VM's IP is 192.168.56.101 (is customizable). Use the following command to connect.

    7sOQco3.jpg


    Connect

    Code:
    adb connect 192.168.56.101

    or

    Code:
    adb start-server
    adb connect 192.168.56.101

    Basic Functions

    ADB push (sends files to your VM) --
    Code:
    adb push example.apk /sdcard/example.apk


    ADB pull (Receives files from your VM) --
    Code:
    adb pull /system/app/example.apk example.apk


    ADB install (installs application) --
    Code:
    adb install example.apk

    Note:- The files pushed / pulled / apk installed should be in the directory of the ADB folder or else you may have to write the whole location of the file.



    Issues.

    The issues I faced are as follows :-

    1. Flickering issue (Maybe due to nVidia GPU.) It's fine now.


    For info check this out.

    Thanks for reading folks!

    I got root like this:
    Download SuperSU from the Play Store
    Download the attached zip and extract the su binary out of it (I got it from SuperSU)
    Open a terminal on your PC and run the following:
    Code:
    adb devices
    adb root
    adb connect <the IP that adb devices showed>
    adb remount
    adb push su /system/xbin/
    adb push su /system/bin
    adb shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
    adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
    Now root will work with SuperSU

    UPDATE!

    FOR PLAY STORE (GAPPS) this

    oh i don't get what you mean
    Example: if you are on Windows, create a folder (c:\new_folder), copy your apk in it, start virtualbox. In virtualbox you can see the different virtual Android system you installed in Genymotion. Click on the one you want to install your app, go to "Configuration", "Shared folders" and create a new automatic mounting shared folder (clicking on +) and while it's creating choose the path of the new folder created on Windows (c:\new_folder) and give it the name "new_folder". Then you can open Genymotion and start your virtual Android system. In Ex File Explorer go to /mnt/shared/new_folder and install your apk which is in folder.

    I'm having a lot of fun with this but I have one question so far.
    Can we connect our webcam and use it as a camera?
    I don't see why we're not able to.
    That feature used to exist in AndroVM (android v 4.0.4 ) Even I don't know why isn't it in latest builds...
